Skin-on chicken thighs crusted with chopped whole almonds and roasted alongside broccoli. No processed breadcrumbs or added oils — chicken skin renders natural fat for crisping.

This recipe is originally for 2 servings. How many are you cooking for today?

Ingredients
  • 2 pieces bone‑in, skin‑on chicken thighs (about 10–12 oz total)
  • 1/2 cup whole raw almonds, finely chopped by hand or in a mortar
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tsp fresh, chopped)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt, pepper and oregano.

2

Press chopped almonds onto the skin side of each thigh to form a crust. Place thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet. Scatter broccoli and sliced garlic around the chicken.

3

Roast 25–30 minutes until chicken reaches safe internal temperature and skin is golden; broccoli should be tender with charred edges. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
